OOG back from malaysia, land of good food, cold heights, LONG roads and leeches. went up to eat:
- the best ipoh hor fun in (where else) ipoh
- the best yim kok kai (salt-baked chicken) also in ipoh
- the best penang laksa (you can guess where)
- the best char kuay tiao also in penang
- the best kuay tiao th'ng also in penang
- the utterly crispiest roti canai (roti prata in sg)

and i'm now stuffed. and need to run a lot.

maxwell hill had a lot of leeches. the first one happened to my smallest brother. seeing this thing on his leg looping his way along towards his torso he goes "ooh look mom, so cute!" "it's a leech!" "YEEARRGH!!" *shakeshakefling*. and we subsequently walk along this dirt/mud track and suddenly we see these looping things coming at us. so we peer at it until we realise they're on us. cue panic, frenzied scraping off and running to the end of the track. thing is, that's the only way back. so other brother with phobia for wormlike things freaks out. we spend 15 minutes trying to get him down, and the only way we ALL get down is to run. real fast. after that we have periodic leech checks. and the second we get home we STAY home. and play a lot of mahjong.

ugh just came back from echo valley and a lot of beer and 100plus. and pizza. so feel very bloated. think balloon.

watched the movie[dvd] version of jcsuperstar today, and it makes me think about what i've always thought about the passion of christ. apparently jc superstar was considered "blasphemous" when it first came out because it portrayed jesus as human (i.e he loved mary magdalene as humans do)and judas as much a victim as him.

i was a bit iffy with the jesus loving mary magdalene, but that really wasn't a problem. but i really didnt understand why judas being a victim was such a big deal. i dunno, i always thought he had the raw end of the deal. he was condemned and he didn't really have a choice in the matter...interestingly enough, he was like jesus in that respect. both were chosen, and both [most likely] didn't really want the "honour". only thing is that one ends up in heaven and the other is reviled.

on another note, i figure the musical on its opening night probably closed to thunderous applause. figures. at first we asked for beauty, we only appreciated it. i dont remember where i got this [probably from the straits times a while back] but some japanese artist prefers "grotesque" to "beauty" as an expression of art. so, it seems, do we. we appreciate tragic, flawed heroes, stories plays and musicals without happy endings, we have a morbid fascination with things that unsettle us...[what a twisted race we are]. although i wonder how long it'll take us to reach the point where, like how ankh-morpork has gone through deviousness and sped past every nasty trait to arrive at straightforwardness, we appreciate things for what they are. probably hard, if stuff like racism is anything to go by.

waaai mahjong till SIXFREAKINGTHIRTYEHAEEMMINTHEBLOODYMORNING and then WAKEUPATTENBLOODYTHIRTYTHESAMEMORNING to play more mahjong. i think this qualifies as stupid. of course a lot of other things that can qualify as such but now its hard to think of them. or some of them. i'm surprisingly alert for 4 hours of sleep, and therefore i know that if i dont sleep soon i shall DIE tomorrow. therefore i shall sleep. at TENBLOODYPEEEMMTHESAMEBLOODYDAY.

butsomethingsneverchange,really.

on a side note. i HATE dress codes.

that woman on mtv and in eye for a guy has a huge mouth. i speak not figuratively, but literally. when she grimaces, she grimaces. her mouth and the words "elastic" and "grotesque" are like angelina jolie's lips and "pouty". it kinda goes way beyond that. i dont dislike her. just her mouth. GRWAAW cannot stand.

i dont know why :P

SOOoo...famine camp over. ate myself silly when i got back (a box of iffy nasi lemak there, 2 rather well-done thin steaks, a quartet of quarterpotatoes and tons of peas [eurgh] and a pot of green tea for the oil reaction [doubleeurgh]). now feeling somnolent and solid. and vaguely amused.

i have never drunk so much water in my entire life in 2 days. i swear, i am fully hydrated and probably so full of water i'm a bloody cactus. literally. after SAT IIs [which wasn't fun, let me tell you] i rush straight there and later wish i hadn't. everyone tried really hard, but i wouldn't say it's the best camp i've ever been to. [sanctimonism does NOT help matter. they're EVERYWHERE! all is vanity...] and ladies and gennulmen, THAT is my pet peeve for a while... so yeah. i missed my peers but i guess i didn't try that hard to be friends. the best bit was card playing, well, up to the end-ish. and the concert was fun too. strangely enough the hunger didn't really figure in...but everyone slept a lot due to low blood sugar levels. if you came in from newspaper collection the whole hall looked like a war zone after the bomb went. bodies everywhere.

GAH. TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING. >.<

today is really a pennsylvania 6-5000 day :D

music of the moment - glenn miller and his orchestra - pennsylvania 6-5000
mood of the moment - boppy :D
"Date, or date not -- there is no 'let's just friends be'."

*snigger*
plato's republic (or rather on the just) is a damn good book. ironically it's because he was so absolutist that we have this book. he couldn't see the grey areas for the...um..black and white? speaking of which [and with the arrogant blind confidence of the adolescent], i now believe that for the basics in life there are no absolutes, but absences. like dark is the absence of light, evil the absence of good etc ["good men do evil by not stopping evil"] but on a higher level, there are absolutes. like the idea of yinandyang (absolutes) versus absences - you can believe in one or the other, but not both. so there's your absolute. or you could be greedy like me and believe in both but qualify them. speaking of qualifiers i should probably note that i'm only on book 2 of his republic and so probably not qualified to voice out stuff or opinions on the book but what the hell.

i think it was the early morning run and the piano.
MAY THE FARM BE WITH YOU!! HAHAHAHAHAHH GOLD!!!
zouk was interesting. phuture has better music though. the para para moves on the podium was hilarious. a horde of 15 or so people on the centre doing para para moves all at the same time is NUTS.
